Provide evaluation criteria to assist the formulation of “procurement criteria” for ICT equipment and data center servicesThe Guidelines are to be formulated in February 2010.

Evaluation criteria for target equipment (evaluation indices, standard values, etc.)

Target equipment: small routers, L2 switches, transport devices, PON devices (GE-PON),

broadband base station equipment (WiMAX), external power supplies (AC adaptors), servers

Evaluation criteria for data centers (evaluation indices, standard values, etc.)  “ Power Usage Effectiveness” (PUE) has been selected      PUE= Power consumed by all entire facilities / power consumed by ICT equipment

Standard for displaying a voluntary assessment result (eco-ICT mark)

A standard and a symbol have been defined to indicate voluntary activities of telecom companies with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions.
